Here's a jazz song about being outlandishly greedy ... for love.
"Would You?"
© 2015 C.W. Brownell
VERSE 1:
If I wanted to catch midnight, would you lasso me the moon?
If I wanted to own summer, would you buy me half of June?
When you get done delivering, here's one more thing to do--
If I wanted some affection, would you spare a kiss ... or two?
VERSE 2:
If I wanted to feel lucky, would you fetch the Blarney Stone?
If I wanted cacciatore, would you fly me off to Rome?
But I'd forget those little things, if one big thing came true--
If I wanted you to love me, would you?
BRIDGE:
I might ask too much--
As such, I stand accused
But you can't call it greed
If all I need is all of you
VERSE 3:
If I wanted to be famous, would you put me on the dime?
If I wanted to start over, would you take me back in time?
But I could do without the rest, if this request came through--
If I wanted you to love me, would you?
